The historical background of The Longest Day in Chang 'an is that in the third year of Tang Tianbao, Turkish militants tried to attack Chang 'an, and Li Bi and Zhang Xiaojing had to save Chang 'an within twelve hours. In the process of tracking the Turks, all kinds of darkness in the officialdom of the Tang Dynasty also surfaced, the most complicated of which was the power struggle between Lin Jiulang, the right minister, and the prince. The Tang dynasty, which seems to be prosperous, has complex darkness behind it. After that, the Tang Dynasty also declined, and then there was an Anshi Rebellion.
This TV play is a restoration of the history of the Tang Dynasty. The scene is very grand and prosperous, which makes people feel the prosperity of Chang 'an. The Longest Day in Chang 'an is one of China's most knowledgeable plays, which has been well received on the Internet. Even the dialogues of the characters are very philosophical in classical Chinese, which cannot be understood without a certain cultural background.
The Longest Day in Chang 'an promoted the domestic costume drama to a new height, and also hit those shoddy costume dramas. Nowadays, costume dramas are a bit confusing for the audience. The shoddy props and Mary Su's plot make people ugly, and even history has become an empty hole. It's either a kung fu drama or a love drama. It's really boring. This drama is refreshing, and I believe other directors will take it as the criterion in the future. I hope that costume drama can keep pace with this TV series.
